Endmaker

I liked it so much I read the novels and spinoff.

Same. In my case, it got me to read my first light novel.

Maybe How I Attended an All-Guy's Mixer?

The crossdressing girls had the guys confused / questioning their sexuality. They are ultimately straight though.

I think OPM is better, but that's because I'm bald.

Based.

Past Seasons

Completed Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku

This solidifies josei romcoms as being top tier for me at least. We have childhood friends entering into a romantic relationship, and they did so in the first episode. The characters here are mature and level-headed too unlike many shounen / shoujo romcom characters. I like the relationship dynamics not just within the main couple, but also between them and the other couples and within the secondary couple. The tertiary couple could use more development, but I guess that's what the source material is for.

It's a pity that the premise of josei anime tend to be boring. In fact, Wotakoi is the perfect example: the premise is simply two nerds falling in love with each other! I probably passed over many good josei anime because they don't have the hook to draw me in.

On the bright side, at least I discovered this one, which deserves a solid 9/10.

This Season

Continuing

Re:Zero season 3 - I find a lot of the dialogue between characters - not just Subaru's - kinda cringe like in previous seasons, but that's just me being nitpicky. As usual, once Subaru starts looping, I'm hooked.

Dan Da Dan - It certainly lives up to the hype. Looking forward to more of it.

Murai In Love - This is way funnier than I expected. The humour just clicks with me. It's an unfair comparison due to the 4-episodes headstart it had, but I found it funnier than Dan Da Dan at the moment. I have caught up, and would like finish it.

How I Attended an All-Guy's Mixer - It's entertaining enough for now. Shall see how it goes.

Dropped

All of these induce some degree of boredom for me.

You are Ms. Servant - Male lead sucks.

365 Days to the Wedding - Just watch Wotakoi instead.

I’ll Become a Villainess Who Goes Down in History - In addition to flaws that others have already pointed out, I find that this is just a generic villainess isekai, which is too boring. Watch Villainess Level 99 instead.

Magilumiere - Looks poorly executed.

Acro Trip - Just watch Gushing Over Magical Girls instead.

Puniru is a Kawaii Slime - The humour is not hitting it for me.

1. For those companies receiving taxpayer money, layoffs must be voluntary, not compulsory, as is already the case for many white-collar employees.

Companies can simply do a soft layoff by making working conditions worse (e.g. declaring a work-in-office mandate when working-from-home has been the norm)

anime

The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, REALLY Love You - One of the zaniest, wackiest anime in recent history to turn your brain off to. (genre: comedy, romance)

86 - Too good for me to put into words. Just watch it. (genre: action, drama)

TV shows

Silicon Valley (HBO series) - As someone pointed out: it's not a satire; it's a documentary - for programmers at least. (genre: comedy)

The Night Manager - The showmakers made it look like either side could win till the very last few minutes, keeping me on the edge of my seat for the entire show. (genre: thriller)

This is just capitalism applied to magical girls.

Anyway, one thing that seriously annoyed me is the ammo-control app on the tablet. Since ammo-reloading and the likes are controlled via software, why don't they just do it remotely? If - for some reason - it must be near the magical girl at all times, why not put it on a smart watch or use voice recognition or something for the magical girl to reload ammo more easily? Better yet, how about automatically reloading upon detecting a low ammo count?

It just doesn't make sense. The only explanation I can think of (that I will be satisfied with) is that the world of Magilumiere is affected by enshittification as well, and whatever I just suggested requires them to pay more.

Edit: cool

Wow, someone who actually follows conventions for flowcharts: ellipsoids for terminal nodes, diamonds for decision nodes and boxes for other intermediate nodes.
